GIVE 2009: Brent Knopf, Jason Webley, Calvin Johnson
[THE BRIGHTEST DAY] On his debut as Ramona Falls, Menomena's Brent Knopf crafted a bedroom-pop record of the highest order. But even more striking than Intuit is a series of stripped-down videos Knopf posted online that outline his meticulous recording process. Knopf's caterwauling, shifty songs are built piece-by-piece, but usually begin with a simple acoustic guitar line and vocal melody. Tonight, to benefit Portland's homeless population, Knopf is performing solo, armed with only a guitar and his arresting voice. Get here early for K Records founder Calvin Johnson, but make sure you're nice and close for a rare version of Ramona Falls. MICHAEL MANNHEIMER. Backspace 9 pm. $15. All ages.
Trashed @ 35
Backspace To help celebrate WW’s 35th anniversary, we asked some of Portland’s hottest emerging and iconic artists to turn our newspaper covers into new pieces of art in their own unique styles. We got the idea from local artist Klutch (Vinyl Killers), whose “remixed” WW covers caught our eye and inspired us to invite other artists to try their hand at using, well, us, as a medium. Trashed @ 35 features Klutch’s work, as well as WW-inspired art by Brett Superstar, Dan Gilsdorf, J. Shea, Alexis Mollomo, Josh Arseneau and Chris Haberman, among others. Come meet the artists, check out their kick-ass work, and toast WW at the crusty old age of 35 at the show’s First Thursday opening. 115 NW 5th Ave., 248-2900. Opening reception 5:30 pm Thursday, Nov. 5. Closes Nov. 30.
